SPARE PARTS Matala » Pond Vacuum II Parts » Vacuum FLOAT w/ Magnet

The Vacuum Float slides up and down inside the internal cage which is attached to the bottom of the Vacuum motor. As the water level rises in the vacuum tank the float will rise and the magnet at the top of the float will shut off the motor and activate the 20 seconds shut off cycle. If your vacuum seems to be malfunctioning try this test. Remove the vacuum motor head from the tank. Hold upright. Turn on the motor and let run for 15 secconds. Use your finger and push the vacuum float up the cage until it reaches the top. The magnet at the top of the float should turn off the motor and activate the 20 seconds drain out cycle. Let the float drop once the motor has turned off. After 20 seconds the motor should turn back on automatically. This tests the timer cycle. If this test does not give correct results call us. The float may be missing the magnet or is not sliding easily up and down the cage. If the magnet is missing you may order a float from this site. If the magnet is intact inside the float then you may have another problem. Call us for help.
